Interested in taking on a high-profile role that will help drive improved outcomes and make a difference to the delivery of patient care across Scotland? Have a passion for supporting projects that could help us address the big challenges facing NHS Scotland?
The Centre for Sustainable Delivery (CfSD) has an exciting opportunity for a Clinical Lead (Primary Care) as part of Accelerated National Innovation Adoption (ANIA) Pathway to provide professional expertise specific to the development, design and delivery of the Digital Diabetes Remission Programme. This ambitious Programme aims to register 3000 patients onto a digital diabetes remission pathway by 2028. The Programme has been developed in collaboration with clinical teams across Scotland and is supported by funding from the Scottish Government.
The successful candidate will currently be a registered healthcare professional working in a clinical role within Primary Care. You will be able to act authoritatively as a change agent, displaying the highest professional standards, with experience of working with executive and senior managers across NHS Scotland.
